A doctor dubbed 'Mr Covid' has begged the public to 'take coronavirus seriously' again, as he warned the number of patients in hospital with the virus is soaring to 'peak pandemic' times.
At the height of the first wave in April 2020, Royal Preston Hospital admitted 180 patients with Covid, many of whom were critically ill.
Now Dr Mohammed Munavvar, has warned he is seeing another dramatic increase, as the number of infected patients at his hospital shot up by 80 percent in just a month.
